RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!

Description: Awaken through the body with the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. This is a foundational practice taught by the Buddha and part of the Theravāda lineage. The essence of this practice is timeless and found in Indigenous cultures and traditions around the world.

This retreat is centered around cultivating a grounded, embodied practice that lends towards concentration, direct experience of anattā (not-self), and impermanence. As the elements become more alive in your awareness, a deeper connection with the natural world is felt. Our beautiful surroundings at Spirit Rock will hold this retreat very nicely.

Four elements practice can also be very healing, fostering a new relationship with the body. This retreat will include heart practice to further support and nourish this healing. Practice periods will include silent and guided sitting, walking meditation, and Dharma talks.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Scholarship offerings: In returning to the land, we will also be returning to our pre-pandemic scholarship options and policies. All scholarship rates require a minimum fee ($50/night). Scholarships are limited to TWO per calendar year for on-land retreats. And, while we are not able to offer “no one turned away”-type of scholarships for in-person retreats, they are still available for online offerings.

Room Occupancy Update*: Starting with our “Living with Awareness” retreat on March 27, 2022, we will return to double occupancy rooms. Many of our rooms are single occupancy (only 16 of 80 rooms are double occupancy). We will also return to offering a “guaranteed single room” rate and these will be limited (16). This rate guarantees a single room while helping to support scholarships and all we do here at Spirit Rock. The remaining single rooms are not exclusive to the top end of the sliding scale; however, they are initially prioritized for those with serious medical needs.

*Subject to change depending upon COVID-19 situation.
